The Bhoeworkers' Protective union was making active efforts for the re-elec- tion of Mayor Parkman B. Flanders, who is an avowed socialist, and for the election of the two union labor men to the board of aldermen. The aldermanic candidates endors- ed by the union are Michael J. Kel- leher, a plasterer, and Fred W. Plerce, a shoecutter, and a member of the Bhouworkers’ Protective union. The union's executive committee for the campaign hired more than 200 auto- mobiles for use in bringing out the wvote and advertised in a local paper that “motherly women connected with the union" would care for the chil- dren in homes where the mothers de- sired to leave long enough to vote. Opposing the union candidates was & citizens' ticket headed by Dr. Wil- liam D. McFee for mayor. The citi- zens' dommittee openly supported by the shoe manufacturers also had made elaborate arrangements to as- sist voters to the polls, The shoe workers in the campaign have asserted that all they seek is a square deal at city hall. The manu- facturers have declared that election of the union candidates would mean that the sympathy of the city govern- ment would be with the shoe work- ers in the event of labor troubles and that this would make difficult the mwaintenance of law and order.

Discussions about its effects upon climate and mariners' reports of its excessive heat recall that the first detalled story of what he called “the grandest and most mighty terrestrial phenomenon,” was made by Rear Admiral John Ellott Pillsbury, U, 8. N., a former president of the National Geographic 'soclety, and summarized by him in a communication to the National Geographic magazine, “In all oceans there are move- ments of the water (other than that caused by the tides) which may be sald to be due primarily to the prev. “In the two great oceans, the At- lantic and the Pacific, there is to be found both north and south of the equator, and also in the Indian ocean, a similar circulation, that is a general westerly movement in ‘the tropies, a flow toward the poles along the eastern shores of the continents, in the temperate zones, and a current toward the! equator along the western shores. It thus becomes a grand circular move- | ment, some parts being quite slow,|gdopted the abbreviated garments are taking a rest from athletics and other parts very swift; sometimes | there may be a temporary interrup- tion in the slower portions, or per- haps even a reversal, but taken as a whole the movement is continuous. “In the North Atlantic ocean the probably more pro- nounced than in either the Pacific or the Indian oceans. “The equatorial current is usually | described as being a broad band of water crossing the Atlantic in the tropics. The portion of this currenl: situated south of the equator is divid- ed into two parts upon meeting the eastern salient of South America, Cape St. Roque. One branch turns south toward the Antarctic, while the other is forced to the westward along the shores of northern Brazil and the Guyanas, and is called the Guyana coast current. The equatorial cur- rent north of the equator has an almost uninterrupted progress until il reaches the Windward Islands, but a portion of it also impinges against the Guyana coast and thus augments the volume of that. current. How Gulf Stream Is Formed. “At the Windward Islands bdth are united, and a portion of the flow enters the Caribbean through the various passages, crosses it to the Yucatan and Honduras coasts, and thence into the gulf.of Mexico, from which it issues through the straits of Florida as the gulf stream. Passing onward toward Europe it is augment- ed in volume by a part of the north equatorial current that sweeps along outsifle the West Indian Islands and the Bahamas, and while this current is slow in movement in comparison to the Gulf stream itself, it doubtless parries a much greater number of heat units to help warm up northern Europe. l “The gulf stream, or rather the combined flow mentioned - above, divides as. it meets the resistance of the eastern continent, one branch flowing south along the African coast, while the other proceeds northward into the Atctic toward Spitzbergen and Franz Joseph land. “It is difficult for tHe mind to grasp the immensity of this great ocean river.

Influence in Colonizing America. “The influence of the gulf stream in the colonization of America was very great. The division of the Eng- lish colonies into New England and Virginia was probably in part due to the routes by which they were reached.

Boston, Dec. 5.—A typical football game of four 15 minute periods in fact is only a contest of ahout 12 min- utes of actual play. Calling ,signals takes up four times as much the playing period as the plays/ them- selves. These are the conclusions gained after an analysis of the Holy Cross- Boston college game played last Sat- urday. The analysis was made by Fred W. Burleigh, whé has officiated at leading college games for many years. By applying a stop watch on each of the 132 plays in the game, Burleigh found that the ball was in actual flight only 11 minutes 23 seconds from starting whistle to finish horn.
